It seeks to present the public needs and expectations regarding the activity of justice institutions of the Republic of Armenia focusing on the most urgent and important challenges faced by the judiciary system in the process of its reformation as seen by professionals, system beneficiaries and direct service users.

The report is built on the results of comparison between the public perception and professional evaluation of the quality of justice and the activity of justice institutions, in particular, the courts. Due attention is paid to how the justice institutions/service providers perceive the qualitative features of the justice and how they behave when fulfilling their duties and exercising the law.
